Cripe I only picked the Eagles right! Well if nothing else at least the Giants are done. I can live with whoever wins now...but man I am going to be THE biggest Ravens fan next week!

[AYHJA]

SHITCAKES! I lost $400 at the casino today now Tennessee makes me 0-1 on top of it. Always bet opposite Darklighter kids. You'll win every god damn time! :x

Shit man, you should have only lost $380, spent that other $20 on an AYHJA T-Shirt... :laff:

I should have known Carolina would drop the ball...Though, I am happy I went 3/4 this week..!

So now, we have Steelers and Ravens - Cardinals and Eagles..?

Who the FUCK would have ever imagined those would be the final four teams standing at the beginning of the season..? Wow...The cards must be doing all kinds of Native American chants and pow-wows to have had this great of a season man, damn...Hosting 2 playoff games..?!?!? The most die hard of Cards fans probably died in their chairs upon hearing that news...A game away from the Super Bowl..??

No picks for me just yet, but...The Steelers won ugly against the Ravens twice this season...3rd times a charm..? I guess we'll see...I want to pick against the Cards man, I really do...I think the Eagles can win it all...They're playing well, and not even with their best player full speed...But then again, the Cards are playing without AB...What to do what to do...!

Indeed, and all that talk early on about the dominance of the NFC teams!
Steelers all the way.

Arrrrggghh! No offense NF but if the Steelers win it all I may have to hurt myself. Hoping on Cards/Ravens bowl but I'm sure it'll be an all out PA battle.

Actually Ube I had a betting system (that needed that last $20) that completely decimated me but yeah I should have bought a shirt. :sick:

Well, with Westbrook hurting, I think the Cards steal another win.

and I'm not sure why, but I just don't think the Steelers can win 3 times against the Ravens. Unless they get another BS call like the last game. So I'll take the Ravens..... gawd I hate myself for saying that..... :disappoint:

[darklighter1]

I like the way you think Ero! And I hope you're right but I have to pick opposite of you on both. The Eagles D is playing outa their minds right now and of course the Steelers D is doing the same. And I hate myself for picking the Steelers but trying to use my mind and not my heart.....f'ing Pittsburgh! :(

[AYHJA]

I'm going to say that the Steelers pull off a win here, they're less banged up than Baltimore and you gotta have in the back of your mind the rookie will have a rookie game...He's been great so far, but is he ready to be great..? Speaking of luck running out, the Cards have burned me twice...I'm pressed to make it three in a row, but I'll take the Cards at home, in a rather sheepish manner, I might add...

and here I thought it was just you giving the Steelers and Eagles the "DL Kiss of Death" by picking them! ;)

j/k DL, but it's just that I don't really worry about the Raven's injuries on defense. Rolle's a corner, and I don't fear the Steelers wr's, or Big Ben for the most part. He didn't win last week, it was Parker and the running game. Just look at what Rivers and the Chargers did. Sure the game was never in doubt, but a good D shouldn't have given up those points and if the Chargers D has shown up, that monster 4th quarter could have made the game much more interesting. Suggs will hurt, but I'm pretty sure Ray Lew & Ed Reed can make up the difference. Not to mention the Ravens' running duo of LeRon "Vulture" McClain and Willis "I-hate-my fantasy-owners" McGahee will run the ball better than Sproles.

The Eagles on the other hand might kill me, but since I have another bet w/ my friend who likes the Eagles for a 12-pack, I gotta cheer for the Cards. Plus ever since the way they treated Randall Cunningham, I've never liked Philly. And while I like the Chi-town boy McNabb, I don't think he's a big game QB. So I'd trust Warner over McNabb. Plus, if you look at the way both D's played over the entire season, the Cards were pretty good against the run, just close to last against the pass. And when the Eagles only pass, their offense stalls.

but with all that said, I wouldn't be surprised I'm wrong on both counts.....

Oh YES!! I forgot about my moosh powers! Hopefully I put the hex on the dreaded PA teams! BWHAHAHAHAHA..ha... :twisted:

[AYHJA]

The Cards are going to the Super Bowl...

I actually picked them to do well LAST YEAR, and they shitted on me...Now this year, when I wait until the last moment to give them a shot, they win...Almost gave it up, but stuck it to the Eagles...Now, if Pittsburgh does the same, I'll have redeemed myself from the shitty fantasy season I had this year...
